Abstract
BackgroundThe global increase in life expectancy has not shown a similar rise in healthy life expectancy. Accurate assessment of biological aging is crucial for mitigating diseases and socioeconomic burdens associated with aging. Current biological age prediction models are limited by their reliance on conventional statistical methods and constrained clinical information.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate an aging clock model using artificial intelligence, based on comprehensive health check-up data, to predict biological age and assess its clinical relevance.
MethodsWe used data from Koreans who underwent health checkups at the Seoul National University Hospital Gangnam Center as well as from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. Our model incorporated 27 clinical factors and employed machine learning algorithms, including linear regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, ridge regression, elastic net, random forest, support vector machine, gradient boosting, and K-nearest neighbors. Model performance was evaluated using adjusted R2
ResultsThe Gradient Boosting model achieved the best performance with a mean (SE) MSE of 4.219 (0.14) and a mean (SE) R2
ConclusionsOur aging clock model demonstrates a high predictive accuracy and clinical relevance, offering a valuable tool for personalized health monitoring and intervention. The model’s applicability in routine health checkups could enhance health management and promote regular health evaluations. |
